Dewey Lambdin will always come in second to Patrick O’Brian but having said that, he has written an excellent series of naval novels about the British Royal Navy during the 18th Century. My few quibbles are his overly extended passages about sail handling and boat handling which often go on for several pages. After the third or fourth time, I get the point: he knows the details of the theory and mechanics of sail handling 18th Century sailing vessels. I now simply scan forward until he has finished showing off and resumes the story line. The other annoying issue (at least for me) are his sexual interludes. I have no problem with Alan Lewrie getting involved with grass widows, whores, adventuresses and various morts but he drifts into pornography much too often for my tastes. If I were his editor I would have remove much of the repetitive material and wound up with a book 1/3 shorter…about 200 pages instead of 300 and told him to beef up the story line. Having said all that, I enjoy the story line very much and expanding it at the expense of the excessively graphic sex and the endless descriptionsd of sail handling would have earned him the 5th star in this review.

Review #2

The Gun Ketch audiobook in series Alan Lewrie

This review is only to cover the quality of one of the two available Kindle editions. The rating applies to the quality of the writing, not the quality of the “printing” that is so poor in the edition I purchased.

I recently purchased this book for my Kindle. Because I purchased it on a mobile device website, I did not notice there are two Kindle editions for this book…the first time I’ve seen that and I purchase a lot of Kindle books. The cheaper edition, (both are from “McBooks Press”) which is dated April 1993, looks like a poorly scanned document, with numerous reproduction errors like pages folded so the scan didn’t work leaving words and sentences that are illegible in some areas and parts of letters chopped off on every page. I’m requesting a refund from Amazon for this version and hope to purchase the more expensive and hopefully better quality ebook. Overall the typeface in this edition is really awful and hard on the eyes.

Otherwise these are an excellent set of naval adventures that I’m very much enjoying.

Review #3

Audiobook The Gun Ketch by Richard Stark

Lewrie is still irrepressibly self-indulgent and fails to learn from his mistakes, the reader’s judgment not the character’s. This is a character with flaws. If he was perfect, considerate, faithful and always did the right – even correct thing I doubt there would be enough interest to hold anyone’s attention. Do you get ticked off by his antics and want to shake him until he gains some sense? If so then Lambdin has done his job. If not then you’re an immature adolescent but you’re interested. As usual there are many moving parts to the story and they’re told well with a lot of ambiance that seems appropriate to the time and apparent historical accuracy. The characters are believable, multidimensional and human. I liked the story and recommend it to anyone considering reading the book. If you haven’t read the rest of the series, I recommend starting at the beginning and working your way all the way to the last book and hoping Lambdin starts writing faster so the new books hit the market sooner.

Review #4

Audio The Gun Ketch narrated by John Chancer

I have read all of Patrick O’Brien’s Master & Commander series and the complete Sharpe series by Bernard Cornwell. I have now read #1-6 of the Alan Lewrie series and put it on a par with the two other mentioned series. I literally cannot put the books down. Alan Lewrie is a well developed character – a rogue – who you will always be cheering on. Dewey Lambdin has a wonderful writing style that puts life to the late 1700s. My one caution with this series is to those who are not familiar with sailing and sailing ships. There is a lot of sailing ship and tactical terminology used in the text. Some readers may find it off-putting. However, the stories are so good, the reader may find themselves so intrigued that they will spend some time trying to learning more about old sailing ships and what those nautical terms mean. Enjoy!

There is no question that I am addicted to this character, this story, this whole entire series. I have read the series through at least a dozen times and am in the process of purchasing each on my kindle fire so that I can enjoy them anytime without having to travel to the library. HOW EXHAUSTING! Read this series… You won’t regret it

For those with in interest in tall ships and the sailing navies, this novel covers a time period not well covered by other authors, i.e., the period between the American Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars, when most of the British Navy was laid up out of service and pirates roamed the West Indies. Lambdin does an excellent job researching the information for his novels. While this book is one out of a series about the naval and amorous adventures of Alan Lewrie, the main plot stands alone and Lambdin fills in the reader with any incidental information on events from earlier books. A highly recommended book for filling in that time period of history.
